PHOENIX - Christmas Jubilee River Run 2026

Join us for an enchanting Christmas River Run along the Jubilee River near Slough, where runners of all abilities can enjoy a festive day out on one of our beloved 6-hour timed events. This scenic and flat route offers a picturesque setting with the river running alongside crushed stone paths that wind through lush fields and past serene wetlands.
The event begins at the Riverside Centre in Slough, from which you'll embark on a looped course covering approximately 5.24 miles each lap. As runners follow the Jubilee River, they will be treated to stunning views of Windsor Castle as well as peaceful countryside landscapes. The path is wide and flat, making it ideal for both casual joggers and seasoned endurance athletes.
Participants can choose their own pace and distance; whether you're aiming to complete just one lap or pushing yourself to see how far you can go in the 6-hour window, every finisher will receive a bespoke medal celebrating your achievement. With an aid station at the start/finish area offering water, squash, and snacks to keep runners fueled throughout their run, this event provides all the support needed for a memorable day.
Registration opens from 7:30am on-site, where you’ll collect your digital race number before setting off. A detailed race briefing will be provided via email prior to the event date, ensuring everyone is well-prepared and informed about trail conditions and safety measures.
Trail shoes are not necessary here; road runners work perfectly fine as the path remains dry thanks to crushed stone surfaces. For those looking for a dog-friendly run, please note that pets aren't permitted due to permit restrictions.
With limited spots available, don’t delay in securing your place at this charming Christmas event where every lap completed is an accomplishment worth celebrating.
This off-road trail offers no elevation changes and features riverside towpath terrain, making it perfect for runners of all levels. The flat course provides a fast-paced environment that’s both challenging and enjoyable.
